It's challenge time again here at The Pink Palace.. and this time we decided to make it slightly more difficult for you! We've called the challenge 'PINK PLUS ONE' - and we'd love to see your cards using PINK - PLUS ONE OTHER COLOUR as the main colour choices. Of course, you can use tiny bits of other colours... such as skin, hair, leaves etc.... but we'd really love it if you could manage to use just the two colours as your main choice... and of course, one has to be pink! Hmmm, that explanation seemed a bit confusing... so maybe just take a look at the Design Team cards to show you what we mean:

And now it's time to announce our new Guest Designer for the next two challenges... it's Marianne from Marianne's Craftroom - and here she's using pink and brown:

Here's a little bit about Marianne:

I have loved making things ever since I can remember. I used to embroider and do cross stitch but since discovering cardmaking in May 2006 no longer do any sewing. I never knew a hobby could be so addictive. I have also been scrapbooking since early 2008. My favourite technique is stamping using Copics for colouring. I also love die-cutting with my Big Shot and Grand Calibur. I was a member of the Crafter's Companion Design Team for 2 years, making cards for TV shows. I stepped down to concentrate on making cards to sell at craft fairs. I make card samples for new stamp launches for Stamposaurus and Little Claire, new ribbon releases for Crafty Ribbons and am a DT member of various challenge blogs. I love to participate in challenges and blog daily.

We look forward to seeing what you come up with using PINK AND ONE OTHER COLOUR - we expect a rainbow of fabulous colours to compliment our one true love.... PINK!

Today we have a lovely new challenge for you - bearing in mind the big day coming up soon.. our theme is 'VALENTINES - A LITTLE PINK LOVE..' and we'd love to see anything to do with romance... it doesn't have to be a Valentines card..... but we'd like to see a creation to do with LOVE.... get the picture??

Here's what the Pink Ladies have come up with for your inspiration....

So have we got your mojo's in pink gear? HOPE SO... as we'd love to see as many entries again this time as we've had for the last few... SOOOOO much gorgeous pinkness.. but don't forget ladies... we like to see MORE PINK THAN ANY OTHER COLOUR (with the exception of white and skin tones of course...)

By the way... it's total coincidence that the lovely ladies on the DT this time seem to be a little 'in love' with Tilda.... no one mentions to each other what they are using till the cards appear - and sometimes we get similarities in taste showing up!

Now... a little bit of sad news... one of our lovely Pink Ladies - Lis... is stepping down and away from The Pink Palace.. we are so sad to see her go and she will be missed a lot... but she goes with all our good wishes for her crafting future... she's so talented that we know she'll be OK out there away from the Pink walls... Thank you for being part of our team Lis... (quick - pass the Pink tissues someone please...........)

I've been a card-maker for longer than I care to remember, and love pink in all it's fabulous shades! I've been blogging for a couple of years now and have met lots of really good friends through it, but know that blogland will be a better place for the addition of IN THE PINK..... a place to share our love of this gorgeous colour!
